Please include a discussion on how to use poudriere on
a system with limited resouces (e.g., 10 GB of free
diskspace and less than 1 GB free memory).  I know
portmaster works well [1] within an environment with
only 4 GB free diskspace and 1 GB memory.

[1] portmaster worked well prior to portmgr's decision
to displace simple small tools in favor of a sledge
hammer.
